Why did I revive my read.cash account? If you visit my profile it would say there that I had this account for almost 9 months now. My sister encouraged me to write here since it gives you money and the community is great and accepting. At that time, I didn’t know what to write about so I stayed for a few days and basically dumped this account. After a few months of quarantine, it had been a roller coaster. I had to deal with a lot of things, I guess we all did, because of…

My College Journey I graduated from Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) and passed the CPA Licensure Exam (CPALE) both in 2019 when I was just 20 years old, and this is the story of how my life gets f*****. Clueless Beginning First of all, I chose accountancy as pre-law because being an Aries, I love arguments and more so love it when I win. But before applying to any schools, I remember the time when Pope Francis came here to the Philippines, and our whole…

Part 1: Surviving college Casually, I am sometimes invited to some schools or organizations to talk about how I…

Am I a fool? Let's take a break from all the seriousness that I've been writing lately, let's try and look back. 😂 I was talking to my high school friends the other day when suddenly, we started grabbing our yearbooks and starting reminiscing about our high school life. We talked about how everything is going for everybody, how's everyone's life had been. Then, slowly we were looking back on where we usually eat whenever class was over, our crazy adventures ang school…

BCH: Building Communities day by day For the past few days, I've been really busy, especially with my work. It has been days since I published my last article and I'm currently working on others too but I decided to put it aside and just get on with this one first because I think it's a story worth sharing. I hope you'll find inspiration from this as much as I do. Aside from work, I have been really busy with a project I just organized impulsively, it didn't even have a name…

After a year of lockdown and vaccines finally popping up, a lot of country have been "going back to normal", as they term it, like Israel, New Zealand and Australia. Almost everybody in my country is…

An Extrovert in Quarantine It's been more than a year since my country, Philippines, had implemented community quarantine. There are varying stages of quarantine here, Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ), General Community Quarantine (GCQ) and Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ). ***CONFUSING, RIGHT?*** Don't worry, most of us don't know the difference either, but one thing's for sure, **we need to stay at home**. We…

Life of an Auditor: Doctors of the Corporate World Apparently, a lot of people know the word "auditor" but doesn't know what an auditor does or what this role entails. There's actually an inside joke and also a funny thing to talk about with my colleagues when we try and remember school elections. **Many would want to be the auditor because, as people would say it, auditors don't do anything** and just are "displays" in the school officers (how I wish this was true. HAHAHA)…
